Al Levantin, one of the birders about whom the movie and book The Big Year is based, will be the next guest on Bird Calls Radio. Levantin, who owns an apartment in New York City as well as a house in Colorado, will discuss his Big Year, the movie, where he likes to birdwatch, and a variety of other topics.
The Big Year follows three birders in 1998 as they try to see as many birds as possible in the U.S. 1998 was a special year with El Nino and other factors. Levantin finished with 711 species of birds. Did any of those birds come from Connecticut? Find out as Al discusses his Big Year with Bird Calls Radio on Saturday.
